Channel Five has unveiled new programming for its digital channels including the Steven Seagal police show True Justice, an animated series from one of the writers of The Simpsons and a new drama/reality hybrid format about the life of a fashion reporter, Getting It.

In True Justice, which will air on Five USA next year, Seagal leads an undercover team of cops who "carry out a unique and often brutal style of law enforcement". The series is from Voltage Pictures.

The 14-part Ugly Americans, from Simpsons writer David Stern, is set in an alternative universe where creatures from horror, fantasy and science fiction live as ordinary citizens. It will air on Fiver from later this month.

Five has also commissioned a new drama, called Getting It, from Camden Creative. The series focuses on the life of a young fashion reporter, Lydia Harrison, who blogs and writes for magazines while "taking us into the galleries, studios and offices that define the London fashion scene".

The 10-part series, a scripted drama featuring a mix of actors and real-life contributors, will air on Fiver from August.

Secret Girlfriend, an adaptation of the online series Atomic Wedgie, is a six-part TV series shot as a video diary of a guy and his mates trying to get girls, get drunk and get famous.

The show is a co-production between Comedy Central and FremantleMedia North America and will air on Fiver from November.

"This continues our strategy to commission and acquire fresh and inspiring new shows," said Jeff Ford, managing director of acquisitions and digital channels at Five. "Our aim is to bring viewers programming that is a real appointment-to-view."
